Gunge does build up in the hoses over a period of time (especially if cheaper screen wash or washing up liquids have been in system.)

First check & clean out the reservior. Best to remove it completely to do this.
Fill reservoir with warm (not boiling) water.
This next bit sounds/looks odd but it works if jet itself is only partially blocked;
Give the nozzle a good blow job ( :oops: suck) & hopefully that will dislodge gunge. (do not swallow! :shock:)
If that works then operate washers to flush out pipework. (repeat BJ/flush as required!).

If that is not successful then nozzle/pipe replacement required. Or (if you don't fancy that) fit a mini clamp to nearside hose to increase/balance up flows.)

If youve got a compresser give the a blow out with that it works for me gets rid of all the pooh in them with having to blow it yourself. 8)
